Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team will consider trading its first-round pick (eighth overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Falcons are prepared to lose a potential draft pick as punishment for pumping in fake crowd noise at their stadium.

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said he's not worried about who has control over the team's 53-man roster or has authority over one thing or another now that new head coach Dan Quinn is in town.

The Atlanta Falcons announced a front office restructuring Wednesday, Jan. 7, that hands more responsibility to assistant general manager Scott Pioli - and essentially pulls some away from general manager Thomas Dimitroff. Pioli will run the team's pro and college scouting departments while also taking over the team's draft process. Dimitroff will oversee the salary cap and continue to maintain control over the draft and free agency.
